IRL counsellors make better impact than internet ones. Just don't goto school counselours or any affiliated with your parents.
If its just a single question, you're anonymous as is and there shouldnt be too much fear in asking under a different identity.

Heh. Don't even bother. You can't just counsel someone out of a whim so considering that most of the people here who claim could "counsel" your major life-changing whatnot wouldn't be the best option. Studying real psychology means taking the whole class itself, not just being a wise individual in general.

As peck said, go to an IRL counsellor not affiliated with you whatsoever. So it doesn't affect you in anyway. Or read a blog pertaining your question online. (One that seems sensible, of course.)

Btw, mind if I ask what you're planning?

I would be delighted to help you with anything you need. I have developed a strong admiration for helping and giving people advice and I do know quite a bit based on my personal life experiences. Whatever you need assistance with I will keep it private between us.

I love to help out and I am here to give you advice and lend the occasional helping hand. If you need help with anything in particular message me. I am commonly busy farming, but you can definitely contact me if your needs are urgent. Thanks.

The zealots wanting to help: it has already been clarified that this is a dire issue. To give advice, perhaps the wrong advice, is detrimental, which is actually counterproductive. Think about that.

I would look for one in your area. Online counseling just does not have the same effect as talking to one. Also, as aforementioned, ignore the good-intentions forumers have wishing to consult with you. That may put you in a more nebulous area than you were beforehand; god forbid they actually broach the wrong choice.

What you, peck, and Hans have said have basically summed up what should be taken into action. Just because you might have some wittiness and profound "philosophic" intentions, doesn't mean you can be an advisor for someone's life situation. As JOSHIE mentioned, it can seriously affect an individual if treated wrongly, and their influence can perceive the wrong attitude or ideals towards certain scenarios. Don't expect us to have the answers, although the utmost we could do is provide a few links for you after our little bloc does a bit of searching to see. However, internet counselors can be fraudulent, scammers, or just plain out malicious or fallacious with the complete wrong precautions to treat it rightly. I don't mean any of the forumers are stupid or idiotic, just not having the frame of mind or mentality that exists in counselors; and don't try to detest the fact that you could be better, because counselors are TRAINED PROFESSIONALS that have a clue and an idea of what to expect when they deal with these issues.

Don't try it, any of you, although you're probably much too mutinous and reluctant to actually pay any attention to my cautions, not wanting to become an insubordinate.

Afflicting ideals and morals are definitely dogmatic. Counselling means accountability, and any 15 year-old below would not have such a profound basis as they are too busy fixing their ego for being a "wise individual". If I were my old enthusiactic self, I would have claimed position for counselling as it affects the person's perspective and I would use this to my advantage so the person would see me right or factual in the said context.

As you said, counselors are experienced through the basic and advanced encounters any typical cynic, optimist and pessimist would question themselves to satisfy their ideals. It is almost pathetic that some people here actually claim to be "experienced" but when you look at their history, it may be compared to a dying duck.

I tell you, it is more of a predetermined course of action.

I kinda need them, because I'm thinking of something that'd supposedly change my entire life but I can't go to IRL counsellors...

Leave the link below or if you happen to be a psychiatrist, that's great.

If this is a serious case then talk to your parents as much as possible.

You can find "mature" and aged people who'll listen and will give you pieces of advice.
